Copper Mine
The Bingham Canyon Mine (more commonly known as Kennecott Copper Mine) is an open-pit mining operation for copper. The mine is the largest man-made excavation in the world. The mine is owned by Rio Tinto Group.
The mine has been in production since 1906, and has resulted in the creation of a pit over 0.6 miles (970 m) deep, 2.5 miles (4 km) wide, and covering 1,900 acres (770 ha). It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966 under the name Bingham Canyon Open Pit Copper Mine. The mine experienced a massive landslide in April 2013 and a smaller slide in September 2013.
Guardsman Pass Scenic Drive
If you're looking for beautiful mountain scenery, you can't beat this backcountry drive, which connects Park City to the Salt Lake Valley via Big Cotton Wood Canyon. The road is steep, but is paved and is accessible in a normal car.
The road is not plowed in the winter. During the open months the drive takes you past fields of wildflowers, flanked by evergreens, aspen trees and other lush mountain foliage. The scenery is most spectacular during fall, when the aspens turn orange/yellow and oaks radiate hues of red.
